There’s always an iced coffee on this emergency call box in Boston’s Back Bay Station. Without fail, no matter the time of year, one is here. Always.

My previous and perceived pathology was such that I assumed everyone forgot about me the moment I left the room. A lot of atrocious behavior (and questionable outfits) could have been prevented had I realized that I’m one of those people whose absence from certain rooms is felt more keenly than my presence. And that’s a whole other pathology for a whole other post.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Oscar is always accurate.

Some trips to the grocery store ask more questions than they answer. What do you make of the kabocha squash, molasses, and a green pepper? 

#TinyThreads

Was that a crack?

Ok, but was it a wise crack?

Got crack?

I love Taylor as much as the next Swiftie, but her recent quote on Kim Kardashian sadly doesn’t hold much truth.

Trash doesn’t always take itself out – in fact, literal or metaphorical, it most often must be thrown out with force and effort. (Hopefully this applies to the Republican Presidential nominee.)

Today’s PSA for the conservation-minded:

If it’s yellow, let it mellow.

If it’s brown, flush it down.

Someone just posted that “January is the Monday of the year” and that feels so very true.

By saying you ‘own’ some sort of awful or egregious action or behavior, you do not exonerate yourself from it. In fact, your ‘owning’ of it simply implies that you knew it was wrong, but you did it anyway. That just makes you an asshole.

Appetizers taste better when eaten with a toothpick.

This marks the first #TinyThreads entry of the year, so here’s a look back at a few of my favorites of the previous year:

Did my mini have an oopsie-accident?

The side-bar conversation.

A dick pic.

Movie fact.

Best to be flippant.

Park it here.

Give them Heloise.

Is Monday through Sunday the same as Monday through Monday?

IDGAF.

A world fucking series.

Never gonna get it.

Trader Joe’s you know it’s true.

A literal crotch shot.

Whoa Mary…

Caption ideas for this vintage photo:

They put me in a onesie and wonder at the fact that I’m gay.

Suzie never could turn down a chance to wear red leggings.

Suzie never could turn down a chance to wear pigtails.

Suzie never could turn down a chance to wear a hat.

Suzie never could turn down a chance to look ridiculous. 

Who are the striped twins about to make their killing?

A little PSA for you and me (and please pronounce ‘me’ as in N’Sync’s ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’) to make it work: Mercury is in retrograde motion until January 1, 2024, so 2023 is gonna end on an appropriately sucky note. Forewarned is fair-warned, as they say in the retail biz.

Every year they put less and less tape in a roll of Scotch tape. 

This is not a conspiracy theory.

Facts.

And every year we have a surplus of Scotch tape until the month of December when it all suddenly disappears right before we need to wrap gifts. (See also ‘birthday‘.)

New rule for my old self: do not put things down. Whether it’s the car keys, reading glasses, a bottle of cologne, the phone, a jockstrap, the mail, a laptop, your office ID card, a cup of tea – just keep it in your hands until you need it. The moment you put it down is the moment you forget where you put it down.
